Can I add more speakers to my Samsung Soundbar?
Adding a Samsung Wireless Rear Speaker Kit to your soundbar helps to surround you in sound. If your soundbar supports 5.1 surround sound or better, like Dolby Digital, DTS, or even the superior Dolby Atmos, the Rear Speaker Kit will help you achieve it. Both kits are compatible with a variety of different soundbars.
Can I add extra speakers to my soundbar?
While technically you can’t change a 2.1 soundbar into 5.1 because that requires different hardware, it’s possible to add more speakers to a soundbar. Most soundbars use a 2.1 (left, right, center) audio channel and use audio-tricks to simulate surround sound.
What is the difference between a center channel speaker and a soundbar?
Soundbars are ready right out of the box to be plugged in to your receiver and play. They don’t require you to find room for speakers around your home theater space. A center channel speaker requires you to have other speakers as part of a sound system.
Can a sound bar be connected to another speaker?
For starters, soundbars rarely support audio output, they’re mostly input devices, which means you can’t directly connect other speakers to soundbars. Having said that, if you’re experienced with electronics, it may be possible to rewire and configure the internal circuitry of your soundbar to create an output signal.
What kind of subwoofer do I need for my sound bar?
The optional subwoofer for soundbar models that begin with HW-MS or HW-NW is SWA-W700. Connecting the speakers or subwoofer that came with your soundbar is super easy as they are already coded to work together from the factory.
Which is the Best Sound Bar on the market?
The Sonos PLAYBAR TV Soundbar is, without doubt, one of the best soundbar systems on the market. Of course, this sort of technology doesn’t come cheap. This product retails at just under $700, which makes it the most expensive soundbar on this list.
Can a 2.1 sound bar be changed to 5.1?
While technically you can’t change a 2.1 soundbar into 5.1 because that requires different hardware, it’s possible to add more speakers to a soundbar. The downside is the audio quality won’t mix well, and you’ll have a lot of wires to deal with.

Can a soundbar be used as a surround sound system?
Most soundbars use a 2.1 (left, right, center) audio channel and use audio-tricks to simulate surround sound. Changing a 2.1 soundbar to 5.1 is rather complicated and not something I recommend because the price for the additional components, cables, and adapters, is much more than just buying a surround sound system.

Waldrep’s favorite soundbar is JBL’s Bar 9.1. It comes with a dedicated wireless subwoofer and two satellite speakers that carry “discrete surround channels into your listening room,” he says. Those satellite speakers are also interesting because they are completely wireless.
